"Sing a Song of Sixpence,
A bag full of Rye,
Four and twenty Naughty Boys,
Baked in a Pye."

I love Wiki - all those bods out there with a real interest in in what they edit, investing their time, expertise and energy entirely voluntarily, for the love of their subject, anonymously. So, according to Wiki, "the first verse had already appeared in print inTommy Thumbs Pretty Songbook, published in London around 1744, as above. The next printed version that survives, from around 1780, has two verses and the boys have been replaced by birds. A version of the modern four verses appears in Gammer Gurton's Garland, 1784, which ends with a magpie attacking the unfortunate maid." Oh dear.
